2017 Bucket List Subset + 2016 Review

As part of my New Year tradition, I make a list of the list items I accomplished in the previous year, and I pick a subset of items to work on for the current year. This past year was especially fun because in one road trip I did 5 things on my list. I’m also happy that although it wasn’t an official list goal, I had a personal goal to post something at least once a week on this blog for the whole year – and I did!

In 2016, I accomplished these 8 things from my bucket list (I’ll add links as I write the posts):

Learn Japanese and visit Japan (started learning in preparation for Hokkaido trip, but actually went before I was functional in the language)

I also did many more things that were bucket-list worthy but not actually on my bucket list (added to the retrospective list).

And I added 5 new items to my bucket list this year (and one’s already done!):

Learn to fence/sword fight

Make a YouTube video – Accomplished! See link above

Learn to do the splits

Stay in an ice hotel

Complete a photo project

The 2017 Bucket List Subset

Every year I make a subset list of 10 items for goals I want to give myself a little extra pressure to finish before the year’s over. The purpose is to move me closer to the chosen goals, even if I don’t complete them that year. These aren’t the only goals I work on during the year, and they may not even be the most important goals to me. They also don’t include any goal I know for sure will happen this year (that’s almost like writing a to-do list with things you’ve already finished!)

So, here’s the subset list for 2017 (as with my full list, some are hidden until I complete them, and this is in no particular order):

Ride in a train (travel by train)

Act in at least one movie

(hidden)

(hidden)

Eat rabbit

Ride a motorcycle

(hidden)

Get a sponsor for at least one thing on my list (click here for general inquiries)
